Domaine Albin Jacumin
Les Bédines Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend
Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Nose has smoked raspberry, over-ripe back cherry, red currant jam, (minor) leather, cedar shavings, baking spice (?), un-cut red pepper, blackberry and light alcohol heat.
Palate has black cherry pastry, tart plum, slightly hydrated prune, blackberry, (minor) green herbs and under-ripe black currant. Medium finish, decanted ~1h really needs more time to open back up.
Decent pairing with slowly grilled/smoked pork spare ribs. Generally spare ribs are my Zinfandel go-to wine, but the Zin's at the house are either too young, or much too old to accompany. This CdR is a solid partner.

Wow what the heck is this budget stunner? Serious mineral driven raspberry nose and palate, I'm having difficultly letting the glass rest. This received a short decant, but didn't need much, this is a pop-n-pour star, generous to all. Can't believe this was $20.
Thanks @Lyle Fass

Not terribly complex but nice fresh fruit flavor, balanced, smooth and easy to drink

Translucent violet with fading at rim. Dark berry fruits, violets, and hints of smoke on the nose. Medium body on the palate with good fruit, medium+ acid, soft tannins culminating in a spicy, cinnamon finish of good length. $15.

This is strange. The nose on this smells exactly like beef barley soup. Good rhone.

Kind of a baby CdP, right off the region. This 2014 expresses it's youth, with charm and elegance . Lovely fruit, cherry, currant , light spice. So nice, leaving now to have another glass . RK
